US firm Dow Corning, a global leader in silicones, silicone-based technology and innovation, will introduce advanced new silicone technologies at the ACS Rubber Show, from 8-10 October in Cleveland. These materials include Silastic FL 60-9201 and Silastic FL 70-9201 fully fluorinated liquid silicone elastomers, and Silastic HCM 60-1225-GRAY silicone rubber.
The new materials are developed to address the needs of fabricators and OEMs. Silastic FL 60-9201 and Silastic FL 70-9201 are fully fluorinated two-part liquid silicone elastomers (F-LSR) developed for static and dynamic sealing applications. These materials combine the fuel and oil resistance of fluorosilicone rubber (FSR) elastomers with the processing benefits of LSR. Silastic HCM 60-1225-GRAY silicone rubber is a high-consistency rubber that provides superior fatigue resistance in extreme heat and cold in applications, ranging from CVJ boots, exhaust hangers, engine mounts and steering system boots to component mounts for noise vibration and Hharshness (NVH) control. Like other Dow Corning liquid silicone rubber (LSR) products, the new material also offers improved processability and reliability. Xiameter brand from Dow Corning will also feature Xiameter RBL-9200 Series LSRs.
